Getting married on St. Kitts or Nevis is a simple feat.

Residency Requirment: Either the bride or groom must be a resident of the island for 48 hours prior to the wedding. (But we think it’s a lot more fun if you’re both there!) If there’s a weekend involved, you’d better plan on an extra day.

Paperwork Requirements: Bring along a valid passport and certified birth certificate and, if either party is divorced, present an absolute decree of divorce. If either the bride or groom is widowed, a death certificate is necessary. (If the documents are not in English, a notarized translation must be presented.)

Church Weddings: To be married by a Catholic priest, you must bring a letter from your resident priest verifying that you are unmarried and have received necessary instruction. To be married by an Anglican minister, bring a letter from your minister verifying that you are unmarried.

Cost: The marriage license fee is $200 EC (or $80 US). If you have enjoyed a pre-honeymoon trip on St. Kitts or Nevis for at least 15 days prior to the marriage, the fee goes down to $50 EC or $20 US.
